TEEKON HIGHLAND GAMES: Femur Throw - Blair - May 20, 2021
Maverick the NPC, one of Blair's "brothers" is initiating the Femur Throw game.
A brother of Blair's named Maverick drug the femurs to a pile and set them aside, getting a breather from their weight. While it wasn't incredibly heavy for someone to lift, the addition was to spin in place and release it at precisely the right time to throw it as far as one could. The further the distance out, the higher chance you had to win.
Each femur had their own marking carved into the bone, and a wolf would then be assigned that marking. The markings resembled runes from Blair's homeland and would be easy identifiers. The playing field was wide and open, and had no limits or bounds. A ring was in the center of the field to indicate where a wolf would stand and prepare to throw. It was three wolves wide to allow ample space for spinning and throwing. There was no telling what direction the femur would be thrown in, but the intention was to get it in the area marked by large branches where the femur bones should land.
Behind the ring was four smooth river rocks each of varying sizes to indicate how someone would place when they won the game. Maverick lined up the bones and made sure they were spaced apart for an easy grab. Once the playing area was set, Maverick waited for players to arrive to test their strength.
RE: TEEKON HIGHLAND GAMES: Femur Throw - Calcifer - July 05, 2021
Of the initial games to be announced Calcifer knew his large size would hinder his speed and decided the other two games would most likely be in his favor. He wasn't sure what to make of the femur throw upon initially hearing its description, but thought he would take a look regardless.
The wolf he assumed to be Maverick stood near a pile of femurs and near a pronounced ring. Calcifer was not an expert on anatomy but he could see that all of the bones were of the same shape with very little difference between each of them. As he walked past he gave a head nod in the direction of the male. Then once again he looked to the bones and could see that each of the bones did have a varied symbol on them and he wondered which one he would get, or if he might then the option to choose.
But all of his focus and interest in the bones were taken away when he saw the river rocks behind the ring. We walked over to them and took a long look at each of them. Thinking of his sister Marble, and determining which one she might have wanted if she were here.
